Nye County Wants Yucca Project

$14 trillion is the amount of money experts believe could come to Nevada from turning a worthless piece of land in Nye County known as Yucca Mountain, into a repository and reprocessing facility for spent nuclear fuel.

The people of Nye County and its county commissioners fully support the idea.

Proponents of the project feel that special interest groups and politicians have been using twisted facts and ungrounded fears to impede advances of something the nation needs which is a safe place to warehouse spent nuclear fuel.

The opposition is so set against this Yucca Mountain project that there is a strong reluctance to even listen to people who have spent their careers working in the nuclear science field.
